HxGN Mass Transit serves as a single source of truth for infrastructure... read more
Getting It Better
While RTK positioning and attitude determination is readily done with high-end equipment, it is still a challenge to get good results for kinematic platforms with low-cost receivers. In this month’s column, we learn how a team of researchers in France is trying to do just that. read more
By Steven Hong, Founder and CEO, Oculii Radar has been around since the late 19th century, but today it is poised to revolutionize how autonomous vehicles (AVs) navigate the road. From its nautical origins as a tool to detect the location of ships in heavy fog to being a cost-effective way to prevent collisions in self-driving cars, radar has a... read more
By Ethan Sorrelgreen Chief Product Officer, Carmera Since the early days of autonomous vehicles (AVs), maps — specifically, so-called “high-definition” maps — have played a critical role in their technology stack. Central to perception, localization and path planning, these highly detailed, highly precise maps provide vehicles a baseline understanding of the world around them, delivering key priors that form the... read more
